Super America

Super America is the 2007 Flannery O'Connor Award winning short story collection by Anne Panning.[1]

For the gas station chain, see SuperAmerica.

The collection includes ten short stories.[2] The stories are in a range of different settings in the United States and abroad.[2] Panning had submitted works to the Flannery O'Conner Award for many years prior, and had twice been a finalist, before Super America won the award.[1] In the collection, only a few of the stories had been previously published.[1]

The Publisher's Weekly review of the book said that the "warmth and originality of these pieces demonstrate Panning to be an astute and empathetic observer."[3] The New York Times described the collection as "radiat[ing] infectious optimism".[4]
